template< class RandomIt1, class Hash = std::hash<typename std::iterator_traits<RandomIt1>::value_type>, class BinaryPredicate = std::equal_to<> > class boyer_moore_horspool_searcher; |  | (library fundamentals TS)

A searcher suitable for use with `std::experimental::search` that implements the Boyer-Moore-Horspool string searching algorithm.

`boyer_moore_horspool_searcher` is CopyConstructible and CopyAssignable.

`RandomIt1` must meet the requirements of LegacyRandomAccessIterator.

### Member functions

## std::experimental::boyer_moore_horspool_searcher::boyer_moore_horspool_searcher

boyer_moore_horspool_searcher( RandomIt1 pat_first, RandomIt1 pat_last, Hash hf = Hash(), BinaryPredicate pred = BinaryPredicate() ); |  |

Constructs a `boyer_moore_horspool_searcher` by storing copies of pat_first, pat_last, hf, and pred, setting up any necessary internal data structures.

The value type of `RandomIt1` must be DefaultConstructible, CopyConstructible and CopyAssignable.

For any two values `A` and `B` of the type std::iterator_traits<RandomIt1>::value_type, if pred(A, B) == true, then hf(A) == hf(B) shall be true.

### Parameters

pat_first, pat_last | - | a pair of iterators designating the string to be searched for
hf | - | a callable object used to hash the elements of the string
pred | - | a callable object used to determine equality

### Exceptions

Any exceptions thrown by

- the copy constructor of `RandomIt1`;
- the default constructor, copy constructor, or copy assignment operator of the value type of `RandomIt1`; or
- the copy constructor or function call operator of `BinaryPredicate` or `Hash`.

May also throw std::bad_alloc if additional memory required for internal data structures cannot be allocated.

## std::experimental::boyer_moore_horspool_searcher::operator()

template< class RandomIt2 > RandomIt2 operator()( RandomIt2 first, RandomIt2 last ) const; |  | (until C++17)
template< class RandomIt2 > std::pair<RandomIt2,RandomIt2> operator()( RandomIt2 first, RandomIt2 last ) const; |  | (since C++17)

The member function called by `std::experimental::search` to perform a search with this searcher. `RandomIt2` must meet the requirements of LegacyRandomAccessIterator.

`RandomIt1` and `RandomIt2` must have the same value type.

### Parameters

first, last | - | a pair of iterators designating the string to be examined

### Return value

If the pattern `[`pat_first`,` pat_last`)` is empty, returns first. Otherwise, an iterator to the first position in `[`first`,` last`)` where a subsequence that compares equal to `[`pat_first`,` pat_last`)` as defined by pred is located, or a copy of last otherwise. | (until C++17)
If the pattern `[`pat_first`,` pat_last`)` is empty, returns make_pair(first, first). Otherwise, returns a pair of iterators to the first and one past last positions in `[`first`,` last`)` where a subsequence that compares equal to `[`pat_first`,` pat_last`)` as defined by pred is located, or make_pair(last, last) otherwise. | (since C++17)

### Helper Functions

template< class RandomIt, class Hash = std::hash<typename std::iterator_traits<RandomIt>::value_type>, class BinaryPredicate = std::equal_to<> > boyer_moore_horspool_searcher<RandomIt, Hash, BinaryPredicate> make_boyer_moore_horspool_searcher( RandomIt pat_first, RandomIt pat_last, Hash hf = Hash(), BinaryPredicate pred = BinaryPredicate() ); |  | (library fundamentals TS)

Helper function that constructs a `std::experimental::boyer_moore_horspool_searcher` using template argument deduction. Equivalent to return boyer_moore_horspool_searcher<RandomIt, Hash, BinaryPredicate>(pat_first, pat_last, hf, pred);

### Parameters

pat_first, pat_last | - | a pair of iterators designating the string to be searched for
hf | - | a callable object used to hash the elements of the string
pred | - | a callable object used to determine equality

### Return value

A `boyer_moore_horspool_searcher` constructed with the arguments pat_first, pat_last, hf, and pred.

### Example

Run this code

    #include <experimental/algorithm>
    #include <experimental/functional>
    #include <iostream>
    #include <string>

    int main()
    {
        std::string in = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit,"
                         " sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua";
        std::string needle = "pisci";
        auto it = std::experimental::search(in.begin(), in.end(),
                      std::experimental::make_boyer_moore_horspool_searcher(
                          needle.begin(), needle.end()));
        if (it != in.end())
            std::cout << "The string " << needle << " found at offset "
                      << it - in.begin() << '\n';
        else
            std::cout << "The string " << needle << " not found\n";
    }

Output:

    The string pisci found at offset 43
